Winning pointer CLOUDY DAWN is unexposed over fences and may be capable of taking advantage of the lumps of weight he receives from Chorizo, who runs his best races around here nevertheless and has dropped to a winning mark. This is the easiest task Richard Guest's 10-year-old has faced for some time. Seize stays well but ran a shocker at Cartmel earlier this month when behind Oniz Tiptoes, though that run was possibly needed. Muntami won over a shorter trip here last month but weakened quickly when favourite at Uttoxeter next time and will have to be at his best to rediscover the winning habit in this.
